What heights?
I don’t see any heights mentioned.
No height, just a very old couple
I immediately thought they were talking about weight.
I assumed a vampire anime.
I thought it was age
Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.
105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.
“Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?”
“Yes, your honor, we haven’t been happy for a while and it’s time to end things.”
“Why did you stay together for so long?”
“We were waiting for the children to die.”
6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.
When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.
I am 5’5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.
How did you end up with that lack of emotional capacity?
Autism and being abused as a child will fuck you up. Mind you I have more while by myself and with friends its just all of these instances were at work and well I am nothing but business, and part of business is telling HR that I put in time off as a courteous and I wasnt fucken asking.
Trait alexithymia for the win
so many researchers toasting their bagels and yet never using your dedicated bagel button will wear you down.

for everyone who actually uses metric, that’s 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)

nobody is measuring people to a tenth of a millimeter.

When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that’s a hundred times more precise.

yeah and i said it better :)

if you just didnt add the decimals i wouldn’t have done it better. So, i would concur there as well.
Are you just being stubborn, or do you really still not understand why adding too many decimal places / significant figures is wrong?
deleted by creator
that’s too many significant figures

I’m impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉
Height in centimeters? I don’t entirely get this.
It’s what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.

But no matter where you are you’d better add units!
Definitely, there’s no excuse for that.
Most of LondonThe UK uses Miles Per Hour for speed limits. That’s just the biggest example off the top of my head. Your assertion is inaccurate.Edit: A weird thing to downvote but ok. It’s more than just London, it’s the whole UK.
Didn’t downvote you but I’m guessing that’s covered by “Tea-ville” which could be why.
I’m in yeehawland and I loved the nicknames
That was not me.
What was not you?
One person said the UK is using imperial measurements and you responded that this is wrong and showed in an example at the same time, why the original statement would be true
Height in centimeters?
Yeah, it’s in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.
Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.
Sometimes, that 0.00328084th of a football field makes all the difference in the world…
Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn’t years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn’t click on the first read
It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)
It doesn’t help that they didn’t state their units.
Seventh Brigade.
I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.
It’s nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn’t 12, it’s 12floz.
Or so my metric companions don’t shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn’t 355, it’s 355mL.
No, in feet, they’re actually giants.
millimeters, they are Irish
Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor
I can tolerate distances in metric, but I draw the line at personal measurements!
5 cm is perfectly adequate according to my wife

A difference of ~11" 4/5ths, or about 6’ 2" vs 5’ 2". 📐
How is that a meme?
I think it’s based on an actual photo.
